my bad firebird they didn't go under but to hear some of the drivers say it they did. but they also said it wasn't the greatest unit it costs more to run as far as maintance vs the tri pac.

Well, this is strictly a personal issue, but I will not EVER take a government grant for anything, much less an APU. But that is me. The government doesn't have any money to give away for such things unless they stole it from another citizen or borrowed it from the Chinese. But even that has to be paid back by the citizens. I won't contribute to that scam.

I will never belittle anyone who does take advantage of these things. I just can't do it. I like less government in my life. Each one has to be convinced in their own mind what is right. I just find it amazing how they want the government out of their lives regarding logs and other regulations, but they go running to the government with their hand out when the government pays them off with money.

Yes they did go under at one point, I think part manufacturers bought them out. But they absolutely did.

get the thermo king, service places are everywhere (not that you will need them much) I have had mine 3 years with absolutely no problems, and it's much quieter than most other brands.. I figure that I save about 150 to 200 bucks a week on fuel since I got it
